Re: A Vintage Beetle Deserves A Vintage Photoshoot

Expired film, or did you just push it a couple of stops?

they were just slightly out of focus. I am forced to guess my focal lengths and just missed on a few. Owell. These were all handheld, and way too old for a remote lol.

Nope, brand new film. there is no light meter on this thing lol, so no. it is quite the guessing game. I found the old manual online that give suggestions for certain conditions so that will help in the future if I'm stumped

All you need to exposure without a light meter on film is a Jiffy Calculator

As far as focus goes, when shooting a viewfinder camera, f/8 is skillful. F/11 or F/16 are pretty much where you're stuck unfortunately. And then the really sucky thing is it is almost impossible to find good film anymore, even online.

It's too bad there weren't any action shots. Action shots with film would have blown people's minds.

Dig it. The whole package. Photos and car is on point, thanks for something different. There is a lot to be said for properly shot film instead of the photoshop shit and instagram nonsense. Great job.
